I have a lot of plants ordered from Tasteful Garden and I got notice they shipped yesterday...woo hoo! Exciting.

And this morning I just took some random shots of the garden so you can see what's happening here in the Southwest!

These first photos are just in my larger flower, vegetable garden. We've had a lot of rain lately so things are super green and lush right now. You can see the roses coming back! They are really growing well right now. I had planned to put in a row of iris down the left side of this garden but I didn't. I think it might be a little late now but I need to check into it. Back in my little herb area...I've planted the front bed with dahlias but while I'm waiting for them to grow I put in pansies and allysum. This is just a bigger view of the little asparagus patch and the vegetable/flower garden. The rose bed is at the right on the corner of the shade-sail area. And these are the raised beds around the pool that have been viciously cut back. It will make no difference though because it in about a month this will be lush and green and splendid with shades or orange, yellow and red. And you can see the metal tree sculpture and windows clearly with everying cut back. A lovely son came over the weekend to fix the lighting in that area and put pink gel films over the lights so the window areas are cast in pink light at night. It is quite pretty. ...and that's the garden tour for the day.

Jenny's Tasteful Garden

Jenny's wonderful garden growing in a very unlikely place allows us to see how to garden in extreme conditions. She uses lots of compost and is very careful about watering with conservative irrigation.
